maybe a colorless stimulus

Drew did a nice job of pulling apart some of the environmental provisions listed in the legislation, so in the interests of brevity I won't repeat them. It seems, on the surface, a positive. Perhaps if some of these projects are implemented effectively, especially those that involve reworking old infrastructure to be more energy-efficient, we will be able to recover economically with slightly less environmental impact. Nonetheless, it seems to fall short of what activists are hoping for. The unfortunate relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation seems to be direct. As one increases so does the other, so I have to conclude that no stimulus would be greener than any stimulus.
